Judd
Babcock brings 30 years of real estate experience to Prudential Gore
Range Properties in Avon. He developed, built and sold luxury
condominiums in the Sugarbush Valley in Vermont. His development
company also was the largest affordable multi-family builder in the
state, where they also rented and managed apartment properties from
Burlington to Bethel. At the same time, Judd was instrumental in
helping to sell commercial properties in the New England area over a
twenty year period. In 1991, Judd moved
to the Vail Valley and opened a commercial joint venture in Denver
to purchase multi-family projects with the purpose of renovating
them, managing them, and eventually reselling them as the market
improved in the mid 90’s. Today, Judd’s expertise has been
available to both residential and commercial customers who need the
assistance of a professional in the entire real estate industry.
Judd has just completed his three tenure on the Board of the
Eagle County Charter Academy and he served as President for the year
2000. Over that time, the campus was moved from the existing site,
and four new buildings were built. In addition, the school added
four new grades, first through fourth, so that new teachers were
hired and the school doubled in size. Prior to joining the Board of
ECCA, Judd had been the Executive Director of the Vail Christian
High School in Edwards. Judd was in charge of obtaining the permits,
contracting the work, hiring the Principal, and supervising the
fundraising to pay for the up front costs. As a result of these
efforts, Judd was nominated by the Colorado League of Charter
Schools for the Charter Friends Award, and also by the Eagle County
Board for the Friends of Education Award.
Judd has three daughters who have attended ECCA, Isabel,
Ashley and Polly. He also serves on the Board of the Vail Valley
Soccer Club, and is active as a parent volunteer at Ski Club races.
He is a graduate of Washington and Lee University and Harvard
Graduate School of Business.
